It named three clinics. Not thirty links. Three names.

AI answers don't scroll. It picks two or three practices and stops moving. 45% of patients now start here, up from just 6% a year ago.

72% of the time, reviews are the reason it picked them.

Not your website copy. Not how long you've been open. The model reads your review volume and rating and treats it as the tiebreaker.

Rank ≠ recommended

You can be #1 on Google and still be the answer AI never gives.

Ranking and getting named are different games now, and most local businesses are losing the second one without knowing it's being played.

Meanwhile, inside most practices

Most clinics aren't behind because they're bad. They're behind because no one has time.

Running a practice and running its marketing are two full-time jobs. Almost every dentist we talk to is doing both at once, by accident.

Where AI actually finds your clinic

Selection isn't random. Engines look for the same four signals, in roughly this order.

1

Reviews & listings

The entry ticket: consistent name, address, and phone across Google, Yelp, Healthgrades, and Zocdoc, with enough recent reviews to clear the bar.

2

"Best dentist" roundups

Comparison and "best of" articles are where engines go looking for names to recommend. Not in one, not in the answer.

3

Your website

Most AI crawlers read plain text, not fancy scripts. A slow site or one that hides content behind heavy design is invisible to them.

4

Directories that feed AI

Zocdoc, Healthgrades, and Yelp aren't just for patients anymore. They're a primary source these models pull from directly.

Did you know?

A few more numbers worth sitting with.


03 / What we do

Everything a modern dental clinic needs, handled end to end.

We don't do generic marketing. Every service below is built specifically for how dental patients, and the AI they now ask, actually decide.

Local SEO & Google Business Profile

We fix the listing, citations, and map-pack signals patients and AI both read first: the foundation everything else stands on.

Answer Engine Optimization (AEO)

We track and improve how often AI tools like ChatGPT, Gemini, and Perplexity name your clinic when a patient asks. It's the fastest-growing channel in dental marketing.

Google & Meta Ads

Ads in front of patients actively searching for a dentist near them, built for booked appointments, not just clicks.

Social Media & Content

Consistent, on-brand content that builds trust before a patient ever walks through your door.

Reputation & Review Growth

More five-star reviews, handled the right way: the single biggest signal both patients and AI use to decide.

Website & Online Booking

A fast, mobile-first site AI crawlers can actually read, with online booking built in. Most clinics still don't have one.


04 / The comparison

The clinic that shows up wins the patient.

Two practices, same city, same services. The only real difference is which one gets named.

How it works

No confusing onboarding, no waiting months. Here's exactly what happens.

STEP 01

Free Audit

We review your entire footprint: Google ranking, ad performance, reviews, and how often AI tools like ChatGPT and Gemini already mention you, and show you exactly where patients are slipping through.

STEP 02

Custom Strategy

We build a plan around your clinic, your city, and your ideal patient: covering ads, content, reviews, and AI visibility together, not as separate line items.

STEP 03

We Run It. You Grow.

We execute everything and send a clear weekly and monthly report: what moved, why, and what patients it brought in.


06 / Why Runelyt

Built for dentists. Not for everyone.

We work exclusively with dental clinics, one per market. That focus means every strategy, ad, and AI-visibility fix is built around one goal: getting you more patients.

Dentists Only

We don't serve restaurants or gyms. Only dental practices, which makes us sharper at every part of what we do for you.

One Clinic Per Market

We take one practice per specialty, per city. If we're already working with a general dentist near you, we'll tell you upfront.

No Long-Term Contracts

We earn your business every month. If we're not delivering, you're free to walk. That's how confident we are in the work.

Transparent Reporting

You see the same weekly numbers we do: real traffic, real rankings, real AI-visibility answers. No blended scores, no jargon.

Free Audit First

Before you spend a dollar, we show you exactly where your online presence and AI visibility are losing patients.

Built For How Patients Search Now

Most agencies still optimize for 2019 Google. We track and improve how AI tools like ChatGPT, Gemini, and Perplexity answer for your clinic too.


07 / FAQ

Fair questions.

The things every smart practice owner asks us, answered straight.

AEO (Answer Engine Optimization) is the work that gets your clinic named when a patient asks an AI bot, like ChatGPT or Gemini, which dentist to trust, instead of just ranking on a results page. You need it because patients are already asking AI these questions today. If your clinic isn't part of the answer, a competitor's is.

Some of it starts there: if AI can't find your site, it can't recommend it. But classic SEO stops at rankings and backlinks. AEO is about being one of the two or three names AI tools like ChatGPT, Gemini, and Perplexity actually say out loud when a patient asks. Different signals, different work, tracked separately from your SEO.

Most social and SEO vendors have never checked whether AI engines can even read your site, or whether your reviews and listings are consistent enough to get you named. This isn't a replacement. It's the piece almost nobody outside a handful of agencies is doing yet. We can run alongside your current team or take over everything end to end.

Ads and reactivation campaigns can start ringing your phone within days. The slower-moving parts (reviews, citations, being named in comparison content) take 4 to 12 weeks to compound, which is exactly why the first couple of weeks look quiet on the surface.

No. We take one practice per specialty, per market, whether that's Austin, where we're based, or any other city we work in. If we're already working with a general dentist in your area, we'll tell you on the first call instead of taking your money.

You see the same weekly numbers we do: no blended scores, no vague dashboards. There's no long-term contract, so if the reporting doesn't back up what we're telling you, you're free to walk at the end of any month.
